When we think of Aztec slavery, the image that often comes to mind is that of captives dragged to the top of the Templo Mayor. But the vast majority of enslaved people in the Aztec world — known as tlacotli — lived very different lives. They worked as domestic servants, field laborers, and even traders. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the laws and social structures that governed slavery in Tenochtitlan: how one became a slave (through debt, crime, or sale), the surprising rights tlacotli had, and the stark difference between being a slave and a sacrificial captive. They also examine the role of the pochteca slave markets at Azcapotzalco and Tlatelolco, the possibility of buying one's freedom, and how slavery in Mesoamerica compared to other ancient systems. By focusing on the everyday realities of tlacotli — from their legal protections to their children's status — this episode offers a nuanced look at an often misunderstood institution. #AztecSlavery #Tlacotli #Tenochtitlan #Pochteca #Azcapotzalco #Tlatelolco #Mesoamerica #Nahuatl #FlorentineCodex #CodexMendoza #BernardinoDeSahagun #AztecLaw #AztecEconomy #DebtSlavery #SlaveMarket #History #FexingoHistory #AztecEmpire Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
